Affordable Educational Institution

Hmm...this is one I hadn't come across previously. The "professional doctorate" (Ed.D.?) program is potentially tempting for US$2750. https://www.asiancollegeofteachers.com/P...cation.php


The doctorates are the same price as the masters, and you can get into the doctorate program with a B.A. and "10 years of life experience" (presumably meaning you finished your undergrad 10 years ago), so there doesn't appear to be much benefit in getting the master or over the doctorate. Aside from it being less work, in theory.

If I'm reading that site correctly you don't receive the doctorate from Asian College of Teachers, rather it is issued by European International University-Paris. That school sounds...questionable based on this thread https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...University

This should be enough to give pause. If the degrees are actually granted be EIU, which is unrecognized in France, then of what value is this degree?

Sure. It's cheap. But do you want to spend three years of your life on a degree with little-to-no recognition?

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they have world-renowned specialists teaching there, but I have to confess, I'm skeptical.

To add to the confusion, there are a few lines on the doctorate page that read:

"Asian College of Teachers in collaboration with European International University, Paris offers Professional Doctorate programmes which are coursework based and are DIFFERENT from that offered by EIU-Paris PD, which is an Honorary Type Awards programme."

If the degrees aren't even the 'normal' (read: unrecognized) EIU degrees, then of what value would these "Honorary Type Awards" have?
